NEW YORK - March. 2, 2026 - Hack The Box (HTB), the leading AI-powered cybersecurity readiness and upskilling platform, today announced a new partnership with C3SA Cyber Security Audit (C3SA) to support stronger cyber resilience across Canada’s public and private sectors.
The partnership unites C3SA’s incident-informed advisory, regulatory alignment expertise, and operational cyber defense capabilities with Hack The Box’s hands-on, real-world cybersecurity training. Together, Hack The Box and C3SA will help Canadian enterprises and public institutions strengthen cyber defences that are measurable, defensible, and resilient, particularly as AI-enabled and automated threats continue to evolve in speed, scale, and sophistication.
C3SA delivers comprehensive cyber resilience capabilities across Canada, combining regulatory-grade assessments, adversarial penetration testing, threat-informed risk analysis, incident response leadership, and resilience-focused program modernization. When aligned with Hack The Box’s ultra-realistic training and skills validation platform, organizations move beyond static compliance and policy toward continuous, real-world readiness.
“Cyber resilience depends on people who are trained, prepared, and able to respond under pressure,” said Rachel Pettys, Director of Federal Channel Sales at Hack The Box. “Through our partnership with C3SA, we’re helping Canadian organizations translate risk and threat intelligence into hands-on readiness that reflects today’s evolving, AI-driven threat environment.”
“Building resilient security programs requires continuous improvement, not one-time efforts,” said Jarett Parent, CEO of C3SA Cyber Security Audit. “By working with Hack The Box, we enable organizations to move beyond theoretical compliance, rigorously test operational readiness, strengthen response under pressure, and continuously develop the capabilities in line with real operational risk.”
Together, Hack The Box and C3SA support a full cyber readiness lifecycle, helping Canadian organizations assess maturity, train and exercise teams, measure performance, and continuously improve resilience to protect critical systems and mission continuity.
